1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda gem.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: Nation I Entertainment. Emma Gillespie, the editor in chief at

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 2: The Daily Oz, is here in a California doctor is

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: accused of giving Friends to Matthew Perry access to ketamine.

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 2: Is now in big trouble. Yeah, so you might remember

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: there's a whole ring of people involved in the death

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: of Matthew Perry, the Friends actor who was tragically found

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 2: dead in his La home in October twenty twenty three.

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: The coroner ruled that he had died from the effects

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: of ketamine. He died in his jacuzzi, And basically there's

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: this whole ring of people around him who facilitated his

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: access to copious amounts of ketamine. Now, one of the

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: key doctors in this ring, he is the biggest player

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: so far to reach a plea deal, has agreed to

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: plead guilty to four charges relating to supplying ketamine to

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: Matthew Perry. Now this guy was there was some really

17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: incriminating evidence surrounding him. I don't know if you remember.

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: There were some text messages that were leaked that showed

19
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: he had texted another applier saying this guy is a moron.

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: Let's see how much he'll pay, and the Department of

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: Justice in the US essentially said that, you know, he

22
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: had a fixation on seeing how much he could exploit

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: Matthew Perry and had no care for his well being.

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: This guy was a doctor. He ran an urgent care

25
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: clinic in Malibu in LA so he was legit for

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: all intents and purposes.

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: But he was providing him not just that one dose

28
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: that killed him, but leading up to it had been

29
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: his providing.

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 2: So he'd been in his life only for a month

31
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: in the lead up to his death. But basically he

32
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: was giving him as much ketamine as he would pay for.

33
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: So Matthew Perry was actually being prescribed ketamine for depression.

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 2: It's a form of treatment resistant depression treat so there's

35
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: some trials going on here in Australia. It is seen

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: as a successful way to treat depression in a small

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: amount of people in the village. A horse tranquilizer. It's

38
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: an anesthetic. It's used in hospitals in anesthesia.

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: But he's nil Musk's system.

40
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: Yes, very prominent.

41
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: He the doctor who prescribed it for his depression. Isn't

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: this doctor who's providing it.

43
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: No, So he had a legit script, but that was

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: for a very small amount, essentially microdosing when used for depression.

45
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: But this doctor sort of took that and ran with

46
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: it as an excuse to kind of access above board ketamine,

47
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: but was giving it to him in cobious amounts. He

48
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: met him in a car park at a certain point

49
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: and injected him. He trained up his assistant on how

50
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: to inject him when the doctor wasn't around. And he

51
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 2: also connected Matthew Perry to the ketamine queen, who is

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: this other person who is the big player in this case.

53
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: She hasn't reached a plea deal yet, but she is

54
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: kind of the underground drug dealer of this story. But

55
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: even with this plea deal, this guy, his name is

56
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: doctor Salvador Placentia. He's looking at forty years behind bars

57
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: even with this deal. So we're not going to know

58
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: how he's going to be sentenced until a little bit

59
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: later on in the year, but he's certainly facing a

60
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: huge amount of time behind bars, surfacing a two million

61
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: dollar fine, and it's stripped of his Michael Jackson's doctor. Yeah,

62
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: but the thing that reminds me of the Michael Jackson

63
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: stuff is that so many sort of people who seem

64
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: legit that.

65
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: All work and exploits, and so there's a whole lot

66
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: of other people who were yet to face trial as well.

67
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: Yes, so four out of the five people charged over

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: Matthew Perry's death have now agreed to a plea deal,

69
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: So there's not going to be any trials for them,

70
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: but we will see a trial for this so called

71
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: ketamine queen that's you to start later in the year.

72
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: But whether or not she'll kind of feel the heat

73
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: from these other plea deals and maybe agree to plead guilty.

74
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: So far she's steadfastly pleading not guilty. But there's just

75
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: so much evidence and all of these four others who

76
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: have agreed to plead guilty, they have supplied this other

77
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: evidence that it's going to be pretty tough for this

78
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: one remaining person.

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: So if you take a plea deal, there is no

80
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: trial exactly, so you forfeit your right to a trial.

81
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: But the idea is that a judge will look favorably

82
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: upon your decision to kind of.

83
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: Still give you forty years sucker.

84
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And it's it's up to the charges at

85
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: their discretion. They could go the full forty probably they

86
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: won't because plea deal. But we'll have to wait and see.

87
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: I think we'll know a little bit more, probably September

88
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: October this year. To stick with Amanda's good doctor doctor Linderman.

89
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: Oh and doctor Skold. They both come on holiday.

90
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: And doctor Linderman. That's all a girl needs. No kentermine,

91
